Now if I asked you two years ago, you would have had a field day with even the idea of a "LEGO" movie. Lin has done wonders with some obscure IPs, only goes to show you what is in store if they decide to move onto the latter stages of development with Wayward.
I tend to think, its actually happening, just with how giddy Benny was when asked about it in previous interviews. This board has discussed on many occasions the fact that development on this things can take upwards of over 5 years, so the fact that the article is from only a year ago is irrelevant.
We have to many big events on the forefront; Comic-Con, Giant Size, Last Blood and the countless others, so just sit back and enjoy the ride.
